When buying a new home, saving for a down payment may be something you consider long before you start looking at houses. Starting to save for a down payment early ensures you have enough time to reach the amount you are wanting to save. Here are some tips to help:

Setting a budget and transferring a fixed amount to savings is a way to save for a down payment. This allows a fixed amount to be saved each month so you know how long it will take to reach the down payment amount you are saving.

Saving extra cash can be achieved by skipping the fun, extra activities you do for a year such as vacations. Lowering your monthly expenses is another way to save for a down payment. Shop around to reduce some of your monthly expenses such as cell phone bills. Identifying areas you can cut monthly costs can add up quickly.
